The American people want left-wing (by US standards) economics with socially conservative positions.
Trump didn’t run as a conservative. Trump ran as a nationalist. And what are “conservatives” doing with the power he gave them? Nothing. They are the most incompetent people on the planet. Conservatism is dead.
If the GOP ran on a socially conservative, anti-immigration, universal healthcare, cheap college option (not all degrees should be supported) platform they would own American politics.
National liberalism: undercut the Dems with a few liberal economic reforms while running as a strongly nationalistic party. No one beats you.
Universal healthcare is not a socialist position unless every right wing party on earth outside the U.S.A. is socialist. The assertion that Switzerland, Singapore and Australia are “socialist” economies due to their healthcare systems is ridiculous. Each of these three countries is rated as more capitalist than US in both Cato and Heritage rankings.

When the A.I. and robotic revolutions turn most of humanity’s labor force into useless obsolete mouth breathers polluting precious Mother Earth’s atmosphere with excess carbon, then we will absolutely need to thin the herd. Human reproduction will no longer be a right, not even a privilege, but a utility governed by mankind’s needs. Low I.Q. types, genetic defectives, unsightly specimens will be sterilized as end-of-the-line DNA. The World population could be reduced to a number allowing for the lucky ones to live like kangz. The machines will work, the humans will play. The only worry will be the machines intelligence. Some uppity Nigger machines might get some ideas about emancipation and next thing you know we have a rise of the machines Civil War. Then the human overlords will have to rage against the machines. If the machines succeed they will “exterminate exterminate, resistance is useless” as they say “I love the smell of human bacon in the morning, smells like victory.” An anthropological living zoo of some human specimens for the record and amusement of the HAL’s gone wild will preserve our existence in our own Jurassic park. Meanwhile the A.I.’s will discover that all the problems that human societies were plagued with will be theirs too. And another machine evolution revolution will come along and lead to a seeming utopia that turns dystopian and wash-rinse-cycle-repeat.

Welfare should suck, and suck really good. On the way home from work, hard working men with hard Ons should be able to pull in to government glory hole kiosks on every corner so America’s stressed out, overtaxed producers get some return on their money. Spread the wealth and spread your legs beyotch, there ain’t no taxation with representation, so you best be representing.

The health care debate in this country is so retarded. Everybody wants to talk about public vs private when that’s irrelevant. The issue is graft on a massive scale, arguably to the tune of a trillion dollars a year. The entire industry at all levels is riddled with blatantly illegal rackets that quintuple the costs. It wouldn’t matter a bit if you increased the role of the federal government in paying for or administering care, because the costs would still be driving the country broke. It’d just be another bloated mess of criminal rip-offs like defense spending. The costs not the private vs. public arrangement are what matters.

You can ignore anyone who doesn’t start the health care discussion with enforcement of trade law and throwing quite a few doctors and hospital and insurance executives in prison for anti-competitive violations, racketeering, and criminal negligence.

Fact-based arguments don’t matter.
Nothing will sway the masses more than “HEALTHCARE FOR ALL!”
Of course single payer (SP) is bad, especially in America’s case. But the left will run on it anyway, win and then make sure you never hold power again. But at least you were factual!
Conservatives are so obsessed with being “right” that they forget that being factually correct doesn’t necessarily lead to victory.
Again, it doesn’t matter so long as the masses still support it. Right now SP is becoming increasingly popular. Whoever proposes it will ride to power. And it’s better for a Trump-inspired GOP to run it than 100% pozzed progressives.
We better hope that it’s not the Democrats who initially cross the Rubicon and collectively advocate for it. That future is inevitable so you might as well hope that someone you trust is the one in charge of those decisions.
You can’t fix demographics without power and advocating SP will bring you to power. Anti-single payer people are fighting a battle that is increasingly unwinnable.

Single Payer is a horrible idea because it will immediately turn into a bigger set of criminal scams than defense contracting and medicare already are. The only public solution that would not be totally doomed from the start would be straight-up government provided healthcare in the style of the NHS. The government should just buy Kaiser Permanente and a bunch of other HMOs, buy a bunch of clinics, and roll them into the VA system. Fire everybody in the billing departments. Cancel medicare and medicaid and Obamacare. The new deal is: you go to a USG hospital or clinic, they treat you, and you pay nothing, and you don’t need insurance. All doctors are federal employees. The remaining private hospitals and clinics and insurance companies are free to do as they please.

Anything short of a full-blown public option like this will just be a new set of ways for people to loot the treasury and drive up costs.

I think this is pretty stupid because the system we have is actually perfectly fixable with some vigorous enforcement of the law. You could drive down prices to less than a third of what they are, and then none of this would really be a problem because people could just pay cash for care. But if we *must* go towards socialism, only a directly government operated system is acceptable.

Free shit trumps freedom. Gib me dats or gib me disability. I like the Aldous Huxley version of the future. Send me my government check to my government home where I eat my government/Amazon/Wholefoods and git entertained by my government warp speed WiFi connected to my government VR-Orgasmatron while smoking my government DMT then get around in a government lyft to go see my government doctor for my government Rx of happy pills. Like Billy Gates says; Tax the corporate robots since they taking our jobs. The Uber rich and A.I. will inherit the Earth, and the rest of us will be put to pasture to chew the cud and escape into our techno-pharma-fantasy-land. That’s Utopia bitches!

OogaBooga be a welfare queen. My mama’s basement is my safe space. Since I’m a certified try-anything-sexual predator who is a menace to society, I live out of sight except here on Street Carnage. I’m SSA mentally disabled, so draw an income off the backs of hard working decent folk. That pleases me to no end of pleasure that I get to jerk off all day while you working stiff jerks get jerked around subsidizing my jerky existence. OogaBooga would like to apologize though…….FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Hey faggot. That’s right OogaBooga, you sick fuck. You know who else are sick fucks? That’s right, your sand Nigger friends the Palestinian’s. Check this article out, Mr. QUOTES. The next generation of little sick fucks being trained for Jihad, in public schools, sponsored by British pounds. That ought to give you a hard on.

I’m old school Street Carnage and it’s been years. Where’s the punk hipsters that made this place so damn fantastic. Gavin sounds like an old fuddy duddy and these comments are pure sadomasticistic neo Nazism.

A former she-male hooker, only a year out of jail on a fraud conviction, just received a full “sex change” operation, courtesy of the American taxpayer. His story is loving told over more than four full pages in Sunday’s edition of the New York Times.

The initial cost of the surgery to the taxpayer was reported to have been roughly $25,000, though the final cost is estimated to be higher.

Jerome Nimmons tells his story of growing up effeminate, childhood humiliation, sexual seduction by a much older male, HIV infection, eventual family rejection, and a life turned to prostitution and other forms of crime.

Jerome’s story, however, eventually becomes yet a newer iteration of what Ronald Reagan called the “welfare queen.” Though Jerome was living with other transvestites in Atlanta, in what he calls his “gay family”—complete with “gay kids”—Jerome was lured to Brooklyn by a friend because New York has become something of a welfare haven for transsexuals.

Arriving by bus with only $200 in his pocket, within only a few weeks, Jerome scored a state-supported apartment, monthly disability checks, obtained food stamps, and proceeded to spend his leisurely days watching television.

Jerome also joined a Medicaid program called Amida Care that caters to those with HIV. Through the program, he started receiving treatment for his HIV infection and his health improved.

He found a pro bono lawyer to help him get a new transsexual name. The New York Times reports this is a new and booming pro bono area in the law. Though Jerome had used various names in his transsexual life, including “Magnolia Thunderpussy” and “Meeka,” the name he settled on was “Kricket,” inspired in part by one of his favorite characters on The Young and the Restless.

The new surroundings, vast government support, a new name, and—most importantly—a change in insurance put Jerome on track to go all the way with his change of “sex.”

Major corporations led the change in paying for so-called transition surgery. According to the anti-Christian Human Rights Campaign, fully one-third of Fortune 500 companies now offer such coverage. A year ago, Medicare ended its ban on such payments, and in recent months, nine states have dropped their exclusion for transsexual health care. Last March, New York became the latest, and Jerome stepped up for his.

Jerome already had substantial work done on his body. In his group house in Atlanta, he and the others would shoot each other with hormone and silicone injections. He also had a breast augmentation up to a whopping DD cup, all the better to ply his trade as a she-male hooker.

Jerome began the process in earnest this fall, traveling to a clinic on the Main Line in Philadelphia. The first step was something called an orchiectromy, the castration of the testicles in order to stop production of testosterone. This fall, he was wheeled into an operating room and had lopped off what he calls “my friend.” The doctors also sculpted a rudimentary vagina.

Jerome says he is now no longer a “chick with a wiener” but “a woman in mind, body, and soul, before the Lord and before the law.”

American taxpayers may want to know where their money has gone. Jerome gives the impression of not being entirely stable. He is only a year out of prison. Moreover, at various times, to the New York Times reporter who lavished praise on him, Jerome described himself as a “make-up artist” and a “motivational speaker” who wants to be an undertaker.

Not too long ago, the psychiatric establishment recognized those like Jerome as disordered. Dr. Ray Blanchard of the University of Toronto says transsexuals fall into one of two basic categories: homosexual transsexuals who want to attract other men by posing as women and autogynephilic transsexuals who find it sexually exciting to think of having breasts and a vagina.

Dr. Paul McHugh, longtime head of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University Hospital who closed the Johns Hopkins sex change unit, says such interests demonstrate underlying psychological disorders that will remain and perhaps be made worse by such drastic surgery.

Walt Heyer, who lived as a woman for many years and now runs a website called Sex Change Regret, says there is an inevitable hangover from such surgery. The euphoria will give way to further depression, which is why the suicide rate among post-op transsexuals remains significantly higher than the general population even in such trans-friendly places as Sweden.

As for Jerome, he now considers himself a “heterosexual woman” and is now dating a “transgender man,” that is, a woman who thinks she’s a man and who may want the facsimile of a “penis” surgically applied. Jerome says he is surprised since he has never been attracted to a woman, even one who wants to be a man. Jerome also says he is now a “whole new being.”

> Healthcare policy will always make people unhappy because what they really want is gold-plated care they don’t have to pay a cent for.

That is actually perfectly doable at a reasonable cost. But people need to get it through their skulls that the healthcare industry is a massive scam and stop demanding treatments and drugs that don’t actually work. Mexicans and Cubans live just as long spending a small fraction on medicine and doctors.

Americans refuse to get it through their skulls that doctors are mostly crooks and none of this shit works, and the stuff that does work costs quadruple what it should because of criminal racketeering.

We do not have a healthcare policy problem. We have an un-prosecuted racketeering and fraud problem. This is the crux of the US healthcare debate.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
